Copra, fuel and general supplies for Niue's roughly 1,600 residents pass across Sir Robert's Wharf at Alofi (UN/LOCODE NU ALO), the island nation's only port. It operates purely as a lighterage facility: ocean-going vessels moor at offshore buoys while cargo is transferred by small flat-bottomed boats and a quayside crane, so there is no container or bulk terminal. Scheduled supply ships call from New Zealand, and expedition or small cruise vessels visit seasonally. For containerised freight to Niue, shippers usually consolidate via Auckland (New Zealand) or regional hubs such as Apia (Samoa).
